A ramble in the Ségala, with its landscapes and typical rural buildings. In contrast to the arid Causses, the Ségala's countryside is always green. In summer, the high country of the Lot is "a spell of shade and freshness", according to the writer Pierre Benoît who loved staying here. The name "Ségala" is a reminder of the importance of the rye crop here in times gone by. (Ségala = rye in Occitan). In the south, close to the Figeac basin, the streams which flow down into the Célé have carved out deep, wooded vales, isolating the hilltop villages along the crests in between. The traditional houses have flat roofs covered with pantiles, giving them a very Southern look.

Lot Tourism

The Lot's character is formed by its 'causses' (limestone plateaux) through which the Lot, Dordogne and Célé valleys have carved their way. It is studded with major tourist attractions and beautiful villages such as Rocamadour, Cahors, Figeac and Saint Cirq Lapopie…. Man and Nature have both left their imprint on the Pech Merle cave and Padirac Chasm. When you're rambling or cycling, the unspoiled, authentic nature of the Lot is plain to see. Home to excellent local produce and fine food and wines, the Lot has many treats to offer your taste buds, including truffles, foie gras, lamb and melons from Quercy, and Cahors Malbec Wine.
